Venturing into the car sales take a lot more than building a few prototypes of the new model, and then wait for the order to bring you even more if you're going to compete at the highest levels, and establish themselves as a manufacturer of supercars.
McLaren Automotive is why not just build its first supercar after 90 years of iconic F1, but also invested almost £ 50 million (€ 58.2 or $ U.S. 77.3 million) in the development of a new State of the Art Factory - or rather, as he called the company, the production of McLaren Center (MPC).
British Prime Minister, David Cameron, opened in MPC will be the race of the two McLaren road cars built last week. The company also launched a "look inside Manufacturing" campaign to raise awareness of the importance of engineering in the UK, encouraging young people to get a glimpse of the inner workings of the technical center.
The first stage of this campaign was the "Manufacture of McLaren challenge" competition in which students had to design and build a motor vehicle that may be less of an object at a distance of 10 meters as fast as possible.
The mousetrap-powered vehicle, designed by Woking College won the challenge, recording a time of just 2.28 seconds and was invited to the MPC, where the students received the award from the British Prime Minister.
